Question

What is the difference between fructification and sporocarp in fungi?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The fruitbody is part of the sexual phase of a fungal life cycle, while the rest of the life cycle is characterized by vegetative mycelial growth and asexual spore production. The sporocarp of a basidiomycete is known as a "basidiocarp" or "basidiome", while the fruitbody of an ascomycete is known as an "ascocarp".
